Love rats and disco balls at Clio Peppiatt AW17

Published on 21 February 2017

Last season Clio Peppiatt celebrated the bad girl, for AW17 she’s warning us about the love rat. Set inside a dystopian 90s rave club complete with garage soundtrack, retro TVs and disco balls, this had all the fun and attitude we’ve come to expect from Clio.

A millennial take on the Romeo and Juliet love story – the collection is inspired by our search for love in the digital age through apps and new technology. It explores the differences between genuine and fleeting love – with the ‘love rat’ motif playfully emblazoned on slip dresses, sweatshirts and fur jackets. Intricate embroidery and embellishments adorn denim, silk and sheer pieces – offering a modern take on femininity.
